When he was young, Mr. Shang Tao liked Shi Tao the most, so he changed his name to its current one.

Li Kuchan once said that Shang Tao was "clumsy", but he also said: "Clumsiness is hard to come by. Huang Tingjian dreamed of it all his life but still couldn't get it." Shang Tao also said that he was "clumsy", so he could only develop his artistic personality and "form" characteristics according to the nature of "clumsiness". And improve it to the taste of "image". But in essence, Shang Tao is more of a "Confucian" - the elegant and gentle temperament of literati. If his paintings have a taste of "clumsiness", it can be said that this is a "clumsiness" of "great wisdom", a "clumsiness" full of the ancient and elegant atmosphere of literati.
